I'm thirty-eight years old this year and began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Before becoming a practitioner, I had lots of illnesses related to my kidneys, heart, and legs. My hands even lost all feeling. I got headaches and had gynecological problems. You could say that from top to bottom, nothing was in good condition. Furthermore, from 1995 I frequently went to the hospital for treatment, but my illnesses did not improve, and I also got some new diseases. I also practiced some other type of Qigong, but it did not help me. I was very discouraged, until I learned Dafa.
After learning the exercises and reading the book, I continually strove to improve myself according to the Falun Gong teachings, and my health became better with each passing day. My legs and hands used to lose feeling in the cold, so I had to wear wool pants and cotton shoes in cool weather, but after practicing Falun Gong, my legs and hands became warm all the time. During the winter, even if I did not wear gloves, I would not feel the cold. My other illnesses also soon disappeared. I'm very thankful to Teacher, who gave me a second life.
I tell everyone I meet about the goodness of Dafa, and many people from my village that saw me recovering from my illnesses came to practice Dafa. But not long after this, the persecution began. Facing the brutal persecution, I remained determined to continually practice Dafa. The police and public security officers came to my house again and again to ask me to give up practicing Dafa, but every time, I clarified the truth to them. I told them why Dafa is good and how Dafa teaches me to become a good person, rendering them speechless. Sometimes they were not very reasonable and said that if I continued to practice Dafa, then they would take me away. As I had already come to the realization that my life is nothing without Dafa and had given up my attachment to the fear of death, I did not really care about their threats against my life. They spoke to me loudly, but I replied to them with an even louder voice. I told them, "Dafa is so wonderful, why would you want to forbid people to practice it? I will not give up practicing Dafa. Even if you put a knife to my neck, I'll still practice it." When they saw that they could not convince me, they left. Later on when they came back, I continued to clarify the truth to them.
I would take different approaches to clarify the truth to them. Some public security officers would say things like, "Aunt (a term of respect and endearment for women older than the speaker in China), you are well spoken and actually we all know Dafa is good, but our upper management has given us an order. We just came here in order to fulfill the formality only."
I used to be a chairwoman of a local women's association and worked there for several years. Now my illnesses have all been cured and it is a real life story, so people have gradually come back to learn Falun Gong with me. Presently there are more than thirty people practicing Dafa with me in the village.
